<p>A pulse oscillation solid-state laser apparatus includes a laser apparatus main body using as an excitation source a laser diode emitting a beam in a main energy absorption band of a solid-state laser active medium. Prior to emitting a laser beam outside the laser apparatus main body, a calibration of a pulse laser output value is performed by applying several types of rectangular pulse current values defined in the apparatus, to the laser diode, so that the laser apparatus main body performs pulse oscillation. An average laser output value of each of the rectangular pulse current values is measured by using a laser output measurement instrument provided in the laser apparatus main body. After the average output value data is determined, when a laser output beam is outputted outside the laser apparatus main body, a pulse current value linearly predicted in accordance with the determined average output value data is applied to the laser diode, thereby determining a desired pulse laser output value.</p> |
